The BnyOnet.

When muskcts were used before the
invention Of the bayonet, one.half of
each regiment was armed with pixies,
the other with muskets, until about the
middle Of the reign OF Louis XVI.
The French, when at war with Spain
and Savoy, used bayonets, which were
invented and made at Bayonne, from
which they took their name. 1t was
then mere dagger, with round
wooden handle to fix In the mouth OF
the musket In case they came to close
quarters. The Spanish and Savoy
armies were not aware Of the inven.
tion, and were routed with great
slaughter. The method OF fixing the
bayonet outside the barrel was soon in
vent ed, and though troops seldom
cross bayonets It is we'll It is retained.
All military weapons have undergone
q great change, which will readily be
appreciated by comparing a musket of
the revolutionary period with one Of
the beautiful rifles, with bayonet, that
may be seen In our armories almost any
day. The lances used in Scotland,
before muskets were introduced, were
by act of Parliament regulated to be IS
feet @ inches In length.
